GREAT GIFTS FOR GOLFERS

No Par Yds
1 5 563

This is a tempting par 5 but it's difficult to reach in two because of the bunkering. A sand wedge approach shot gives the best chance for birdie.

2 4 387 This is a short par 4 and an important birdie opportunity. The tee shot requires a choice -- play left to right or over the tall tree in the dogleg.
3 4 467 This is the beginning of Colonial's "Horrible Horseshoe" -- the three most difficult holes on the golf course. The long dogleg left requires a perfectly placed tee shot around a large tree and bunkers. A long approach shot makes birdies rare. This ranks as the second-most difficult hole at Colonial.
4 3 252

This is the longest of the par 3s. The elevated green is difficult to hold. This is the only par 3 that has not yielded a hole-in-one during the 58-year history of the tournament. Even birdies are rare.

5 4 472 This is the hardest hole at Colonial and the last of the "Horrible Horseshoe." The tee shot must be precise -- there's a ditch to the left and a river on the right.
6 4 394 A left-to-right tee shot between bunkers sets up a good birdie opportunity. The green can be tricky.
7 4 432

This is a straight hole that requires accuracy off the tee into a pinched landing area. You can be more aggressive with the second shot, though.

8 3 194

This hole features a three-tiered green with tricky crosswinds. Short birdie putts are difficult to come by here.

9 4 402

This is an attractive, devilish hole that can extract some big numbers. You must hit it straight off the tee and avoid a pond in front of the tricky green with your approach.

10 4 407

This is the second-toughest hole on the back nine. The tee shot must stay left to fully utilize the narrow opening to the green.

11 5 611 You can let it all out on this straight tee shot but watch out for bunkers to the left side of fairway. The well-bunkered green requires a sand wedge approach for the best chance at birdie.
12 4 417 This is the hardest hole on back nine. The fairway is a dogleg left that requires accuracy and length. The approach must negotiate a tightly-bunkered green and often a headwind.
13 3 171 You face a tee shot with total carry over water to this two-tiered green. Winds can make this hole very difficult.
14 4 448

This long dogleg left requires a draw off the tee and a long approach shot. The green can be tricky.

15 4 428 Your tee shot must navigate a gauntlet formed by out-of-bounds to the right and trees to the left. A short approach makes birdies possible on this two-tiered green.
16 3 188 The steepest green on the course requires a good shot to stay below the pin.
17 4 382

This is a short but dangerous hole. It's a dogleg right but you must keep your tee shot left. Accuracy is a premium all the way with a short but hazardous approach.

18 4 433

You need to hit a draw off the tee on this dogleg left with trees capturing wayward shots. A lake protects the left side of the well-bunkered green.
